AMD sees graphics solutions integrated into the CPU fairly quickly replace entry-level graphics cards...
Our colleagues from Xbit Labs were able to attend the telephone conference that followed the publication of the latest results of AMD. They are thus the words of Thomas Seifert, CEO of AMD acting, who referred to the death of the entry-level graphics cards, which will be quickly replaced it graphics solutions integrated into the CPU. Talking, for example, the famous APU Fusion of the skier, who recorded a very good start. "More or less long term, a part of the market of graphics cards will be cannibalized and the less powerful cards will be logically replaced by products such as Fusion." "For us, it is a good thing, because this will replace products that the margins are low by products on which our margins are more comfortable" says, not hiding the interest of some skiers to see these low range GPU.
A Radeon HD 5450 is within €40 in trade...
However, he explained that cards like the Radeon HD 5400 and 6400 series will continue to be marketed as a first step, despite their relatively weak performance and the rise of the market of integrated graphics solutions. Is that if the graphic chips integrated into processors of the Llano and Brazos ranges provide interesting performance and are sufficient for most uses (except the high-end game, of course), associated processors are not yet powerful enough to solve the equation. Indeed, many users, for flexibility, want to have a very swift processor, to which they want to associate a graphic chip for entry-level to not increasing their invoice. They thus sacrifice graphics performance of their configuration, but not its overall computing power.
Not sure, to these expectations, that AMD can stop in the short term the marketing of its most accessible graphics cards...
